Episode 5: Juwi's Arrest

Room 10

Dimpy stormed back into the room, followed by Mauli. The tension was palpable as Dimpy confronted Mauli.

"What are you trying to prove?" Dimpy asked, her voice laced with anger.

Mauli looked confused. "What do you mean, Dimple?"

Dimpy's eyes flashed with annoyance. "My name is Dimpy, not Dimple. And now you're trying to take my friends too?"

Mauli's eyes widened in understanding. "What do you mean?"

Dimpy's voice rose. "This Juwi girl, why did you give her my snacks?"

Mauli hesitated. "You said you..."

Dimpy cut her off, her voice sharp. "I know what I said, but what I mean is that don't give me anything in front of anyone."

Mauli nodded, looking c chastened. "Okay, I'm sorry, Dimple."

Dimpy's expression didn't soften. "Sorry, Dimpy," Mauli corrected herself.

Dimpy sighed and stalked off to the restroom, leaving Mauli looking upset.

Classroom

Ethan confronted Karan, his expression aggressive. "Not you again. What's your business?"

Karan stood tall, his eyes locked on Ethan's. "It's my business because if you don't stop bullying everyone around here..."

Ethan sneered, but Karan's words gave him pause. He turned and left with his gang, shooting a gl gl glance at Pihu.

As Ethan left, Karan turned to Pihu, who was watching him with a mixture of gratitude and curiosity.

"Thank you for helping," Pihu said, her voice soft.

Karan smiled, his eyes cr crling at the corners. "Don't mention it. By the way, I'm Karan."

Pihu smiled, trying to leave. "Hi, Karan."

Karan's eyes sparkled with amusement. "Won't you tell me your name?"

Pihu hesitated, then shook her head. "No, thank you."

She left, leaving Karan smiling after her.

Outside

Shaina arrived with a police officer, a triumphant smile on her face.

"You're under arrest for theft," the officer said, handcuffing Juwi.

Juwi's eyes widened in shock as Gaurav intervened.

"You know you can't arrest a minor without a guardian or parent here," Gaurav said, his voice firm.

Shaina's expression turned ugly. "And who are you to say that?"

Gaurav's eyes locked onto Shaina's. "Who I am doesn't matter. Officer, you know the rules. This girl is innocent, she took her bag by mistake."

The officer conferred with Shaina, who eventually backed down.

"Alright, just give me back my bag, and if anything goes missing, you'll pay," Shaina snarled.

Juwi's face lit up with relief as she handed over Shaina's bag. Gaurav watched, a small smile on his face as he caught Juwi's eye.

Teacher's Office

Ethan met with Headteacher Mr. William, a sly smile spreading across his face.

"I want you to make that girl fail in everything," Ethan said, his voice low and menacing.

William nodded, a greedy gl gleaming in his eye. "How would you like her to fail?"

Ethan's smile grew wider. "I want her to fail miserably, and I also want you to make her life a living hell."

William nodded, taking a bag of money from Ethan. "Anything for Mr. Hikes."

Ethan left, leaving William counting the money with a satisfied smile.
